Hi Andrea:
I'm pretty sure the problem
I'm having is specific to 3.7.2 - I just imaged the same node using 3.5.3 and it
was running at full speed. I'm just wondering whether the network card was
brought up at half duplex or something - is there a way for me to figure that
out with a driver loaded in kernel?
Anyways I have not tried your
suggestion regarding disabling NAPI yet, since that functionality is for e1000
and I have a e100 card, but I might try it later (I think in 2.6.16, NAPI is
enabled by default and there is no way for me to turn it off).
If you have any other ideas,
please let me know.
Thanks,
Bernard

I'll check if there's something wrong in the kernel
config about that
